Low Power Broadcast Co LPB RC-50B Vintage Tube AM Radio Transmitter (looks good)

Description

This transmitter looks good. The cabinet has some scuffs and scratches, but certainly not abused. Inside, you can see it uses two 6146B, two 12AU7, two EL34, and one 6AL11. It also has two beefy UTC transformers. There appears to be some newer solder on the plate tuning padder, both otherwise looks original/unmodified. This one will make an excellent candidate for restoration. This transmitter weighs a ton and will require a lot of packaging materials, so I apologize if shipping seems steep. You're more than welcome to pick it up in person for free.
This piece of equipment is believed to have not been used in years (possibly decades). With this in mind, it is truly 100% untested and being sold as-is. It will almost certainly need some level of service. This may include: replacement of electrical components (such as capacitors, resistors, diodes, tubes, etc), cleaning of controls, alignment, and so forth. If you're not qualified to do this work yourself, we're happy to provide you with a list of qualified technicians available for hire. We can also ship the equipment directly to a technician of your choice, which will save you a few bucks.
